More quotes by Mia Wasikowska
He [directo Park] gave me a sculpture, a jaguar. It is the animal, obviously, and it is in my bedroom at my parents' place at the moment. But I am just about to move into my own place and I shall put it somewhere there. I shall make sure it has good lighting. This will be my first place of my own and I am so excited.

Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.

You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.

I think that because most films where there's a teenager, it's aimed at a teenage audience. Restless is - I wouldn't classify it as a teen film, strictly, but it's definitely a film that appeals to young people, but also gives them credit for their complexity.

I always collect a bunch of images for every film that I do, that reminds me of an essence of the character, or the time that they live in, or what they're experiencing.

Mia Wasikowska
To have a creative outlet that you can control is really important because you do a lot of waiting to be cast, then waiting to go into production, and then waiting on set.
Mia Wasikowska
Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.
Mia Wasikowska
I really like trying to find the roles that are actually really meaningful to me.
Mia Wasikowska
Coming from dance, I feel acting is - I'm not going to say easy, because it's not. But the dance world is more hard-core.
Mia Wasikowska
As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
Mia Wasikowska
I think it's possible to have the kind of career you really want if you want to. You just don't do the things you don't want to and you just have to be cool with waiting for something to come around that you really feel passionate for.
Mia Wasikowska
With dance, you learn to channel nerves into energy, excited energy. It's sort of similar when you walk into an audition room, to be able to go takes deep breath and then go in real calm. It was in those ways that it really helped me.
Mia Wasikowska
Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.
Mia Wasikowska
There's a whole language to movement and how you embody someone, and how you can use different techniques for different characters. I guess just posture, and the way you walk, and the way you physically are. All of that says a lot about who someone is.
Mia Wasikowska
Acting really suited me because I could connect as an actor to emotion.
